I think she was trying to convince herself.

She felt like the M was ending, but she wasn't ready to accept it. So she was telling herself "we'll work through it", etc, etc.

But she had another voice telling herself "this won't work, I'm not happy, I want more, it will never get better", etc.

She vocalized the positive voice around you...but in the end she believed the other voice.
